Viewing Notes
The last two shorts in this set are directed by Stan Laurel. This one sets up some jokes that it never fully delivers on (like the skunk for dinner) but what’s there is pretty fun. The runaway train and missing bridge thing reminded me very much of MI: Dead Reckoning to the point you almost wonder if this isn’t what inspired it.
